Terms of Use
These Terms of Use were last revised on September 10, 2024.
Welcome to Yellowdig.com, a website and online service owned and operated by Six Deg, Inc. ("Yellowdig" "we," or "us"). This page explains the terms by which you may use our Service. By accessing or using the Yellowdig services, website, applications and software provided through or in connection with the service, including through a mobile device ("Service"), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service.
We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Use at any time. If we do this, we will notify you by posting the amended Terms of Use on this page and indicate at the top of the page the date the Terms of Use were last revised. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. These Terms of Use apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service ("Users").
THESE TERMS OF USE INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND REQUIRE BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT USER UNDERSTANDS EACH PROVISION.
We enter into a Master Services Agreement with individual enterprise clients, which sets out separate terms, such as Service Level Agreement, Data Ownership, Access Policy, Availability, and other business terms. Unless your organization has a separate Master Services Agreement in place, these Terms of Use apply to your use of the Service. You can contact us at ClientSuccess@yellowdig.com to inquire whether your organization has a Master Services Agreement with us.
Use of Our Service
Yellowdig provides a place for people to communicate with others in their work, school or community networks (each, a "Network") in real time.
Yellowdig grants you permission to use the Service as set forth in these Terms of Use, provided that: (i) you will not copy, distribute, or disclose any part of the Service in any medium; (ii) you will not alter or modify any part of the Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Service for its intended purpose; and (iii) you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use. If you register with Yellowdig and create a "Member account", your account will give you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time in our sole discretion.
You may never use another Member's account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify Yellowdig immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Although Yellowdig will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you will be liable for the losses of Yellowdig or others due to such unauthorized use.
You may use your Account Settings to control your Member Profile. By providing Yellowdig your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. You may use your Notifications Settings to opt out of many Service-related communications. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including messages regarding changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by changing the preferences in your Notifications Settings. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots", "spiders", "offline readers," etc., that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Yellowdig servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service nor to use the communication systems provided by the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to use any portion of the Service as a destination linked from any unsolicited bulk messages or unsolicited commercial messages. Yellowdig may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice and liability, if, in Yellowdig's sole determination, you violate any portion of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to the following prohibited actions: (i) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security of, or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (ii) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (iii) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (iv) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (v) interfering with the proper working of the Service; or (vi) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including, but not limited to, registering for the Service with a non-Network email address. Upon termination for any reason, you continue to be bound by these Terms of Use.
Yellowdig reserves the right to offer alternative and/or additional Services to certain administrative users, including administrators of corporate Networks, that may not be offered to general Users. You acknowledge that Yellowdig charges a fee for the use of any Services, that can be waived at times at our discretion. Yellowdig reserves the right to stop the free service at any time unless there is an applicable Master Services Agreement in place.
User Content
Some areas of the Service may allow Users to post feedback, comments, questions, data, and other information ("User Content"). You are solely responsible for any User Content that you upload, publish, display, link to or otherwise make available (hereinafter, "post") on, to or through the Service, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. Yellowdig will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such User Content except as provided herein or in our Privacy Policy or as may be required by law. Absent a Master Services Agreement, all such User Content is owned by the User who posted it to the Service, although each User acknowledges and consents that upon the introduction of a Master Services Agreement into that User's Network, all related User Content will automatically become the property of the organization to which the Network belongs without any additional notice to Users of that Network. If a Network has a Network Administrator, all such User Content is the property of the organization to which the Network belongs (including all User Content posted to a specific Group or Groups within a Network and all User Content created prior to the existence of the Network Administrator). In either case, Yellowdig does not have, nor does it claim, any ownership rights in any User Content. In addition, you should note that if you are no longer an eligible member of a Network (e.g., you cease to be employed by the relevant organization), your access to all User Content you uploaded may be terminated, regardless of whether the Network has a Network Administrator. Once a User is removed from a Network, the content of that User remains on the Network and is the sole property of the organization which administers that Network.
You agree not to post User Content that: (i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to you, to any other person, or to any animal; (ii) may create a risk of any other loss or damage to any person or property; (iii) may constitute or contribute to a crime or tort; (iv) contains any information or content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; (v) contains any information or content that is illegal; (vi) contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; or (vii) contains any information or content that you know is not correct and current, in each case as determined by Yellowdig in our sole discretion. You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below), rights of publicity or rights of privacy. You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer's Guild of America, or any other rights organization.
For the purposes of these Terms of Use, "Intellectual Property Rights" means all patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction.
Yellowdig takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other Users or third parties post or send over the Service. You understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any User Content that you send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through your use of the Service, is solely your responsibility. Yellowdig is not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User Content. You understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree that Yellowdig will not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of such User Content.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Yellowdig Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users.
